Hotel Meurice
About
Hotel Meurice de Calais, founded in 1771, is an elegant establishment that blends historic grandeur with contemporary luxury. Located on the bustling port side of Calais, the hotel offers a tranquil respite just steps from the iconic Parc Richelieu, the central museum, and the tranquil beaches of the Côte d’Opale. The building itself is a masterpiece of 18th‑century French architectural design, restored to preserve its original stonework, carved wood paneling, and tasteful period furnishings, yet fully updated with modern conveniences such as high‑speed Wi‑Fi and climate‑controlled rooms. The hotel features 41 suites, each styled with a distinctive blend of traditional décor and modern comforts. Guests can choose from a range of room types, including classic, superior, deluxe and suite options. Each room includes a private en‑suite bathroom, subtle lighting, and centrally positioned windows that offer sea or city views. The on‑site bar, open daily from 12 pm to midnight, provides an inviting space for sunset cocktails and late‑night conversations. Breakfast is available in three formats—continental, buffet, or express—allowing guests to select an option that suits their schedule and preferences. Beyond its interior charms, the hotel’s location makes it an ideal base for exploring Calais. The historic city centre, the twenty‑four‑hour reception desk, and nearby attractions such as the Museum of the Crossings, historic Citadel, and numerous seaside promenades are all within walking distance. Whether you’re a business traveler looking for a comfortable, well‑located accommodation, a couple seeking a romantic getaway, or a history enthusiast eager to walk the same streets that once hosted the early grand hotels of France, Hotel Meurice offers an unforgettable experience anchored in heritage and hospitality.
